Bald Eagle

The Bald Eagle is the center block for my quilt âPetals Wings and Other Thingsâ and Measures 20â X 30â. The Eagle sits in a unique dimensional nest and is surrounded by 3-D Appli-bonded leaves. You will be amazed how fast and easy this block is. Iâm sure you wonât stop there, youâll want to do the rest of the quilt.
